Recently acquired a semi-dead PRC-10A . Sometime during its lifetime
some not so bright Golden Screwdriver Award winner apparently applied a
filament voltage a tad higher than the recommended limits to this unit
and did a bling, bling job on the receivers filaments (transmits okay!).
Would like to know if anyone out there has spare AM-427A or A/U I.F
modules (need four) I can buy before I go McGuiver and cut these bad
ones open to (attempt to) repair them? Also Does anyone have a schematic
to the "A" units or better still a TM maintenance manual? Would be very
much willing to part with a few bucks to pay for a copy!
On another subject... Am awaiting delivery of a PRC-47, I would
appreciate collective inputs regarding LSB/USB mods and filter sources
as I intend to use this unit for MARS and MRCG nets as well as Rtty. Has
the AM-3507 amp/modulator offered by FAIR got a filter that can be used
in the 47 for LSB? All input is welcome!
Thanks to all!
